Welcome back, everybody.

You're a long ass hiatus.
Fucking hiatus and a half, if you will.
Welcome back to Chirping from the Pine, the Gamerage Sports broadcast.
My name's Josh.
I'm here today with good buddy Adam.
Greetings.
And today we're going to ask the question, why are some sports fans so fucking stupid?
(00:50):
I think it's just sports fans in general.
Why is everybody so fucking stupid in general?
Why is everybody so fucking stupid, like King Jun, King Jameel in fucking Team America?
Yeah.
But anyways, before we get to that, if you want, you can go to YouTube where you can

All right.
Well Adam, this is your idea.
So I assume you have a rant ready to go.
I do somewhat.
So this all started this past week with the official start of playoff baseball, postseason
(02:00):
baseball for Major League Baseball.
And so I decided I was going to become more, I don't know why, I probably should just fucking
stay out of it because I participate in some of the Dodger subreddits or rather the major
Dodger subreddit, which is our Dodgers, right?
(02:21):
And because of things not going well, seemingly for the NLDS between the Padres and the Dodgers,
with the Dodgers being down at the time two games to one against the Padres, people were
losing their fucking minds over the Dodgers being behind the game and seemingly not going
(02:45):
to win the series because of how dominant the Padres were.
And then we, you know, now it's Sunday and the Dodgers are the people that ended up coming
out ahead and they're now in the NLCS and shutting out the New York Mets and all that
shit.
But man, I wrote this whole fucking thing about people making these Doomer posts about,
(03:09):
oh my God, this is going to be the end of the season.
The Padres.
Oh man, they talk so much mad shit and Fernando Tatis was sticking out his tongue and Manny
Machado and Cronenworth and all this bullshit.
I'm like, dude, I wrote a whole fucking post and people actually liked it.
I was actually surprised.
(03:30):
I wrote a whole long ass thing about, I'm like, dude, these guys, whether you're a Padres
or a Dodgers fan, this shit doesn't affect you personally.
Joe Highe Ohtani, he's not going to fucking console you after the Dodgers win or lose
the World Series.
These guys are playing for millions of fucking dollars.
(03:53):
They're playing a kids game and you're acting like this sport and the outcome of your favorite
team is personal achievement to you.
And you're also spending numerous hours watching a sport and turning your fandom into animosity
towards other people that you don't even fucking know and possibly turning it into actual violence
(04:17):
when you go to the stadium or the arena in which your favorite team plays and you have
other fans and you're throwing beers.
I just can't believe the stupidity of some fans.
So what do you have to...
Yeah, it's just like, fuck man, it ain't that fucking important.
And this is the other thing, it's not that serious, right?
(04:38):
I also don't think that, or I think the majority of these individuals who do this kind of shit,
these are the dudes that, I mean, high school was their glory years, everything after high
school has just been downhill from there.
And everyone needs something to latch onto, right?
And for some people it's drugs, some people it's alcohol.
(04:59):
That's your first...
Listen, I'm making a good point here.
For some people it is drugs, some people it's alcohol, some people it's fucking jerking off.
I don't know, some people it's food.
And for others, it's sports.
And some people put their entire fucking existence into a singular or multiple sports teams.
(05:22):
And that's all they're about is their fucking sports team.
They know everything there is to know about the team, they know all this shit, and they're
super fucking hyper aware of it, and they also take it as personal responsibility for
whatever the team does that they assisted with that, right?
(05:43):
Like you said, it's that, oh, I'm gonna take a personal achievement, oh, my team won the
World Series, that means I won the World Series.
No, these assholes are playing for billions of dollars, not just millions, billions of
dollars are on the line, okay, that these guys are getting paid.
They don't give a fuck about you.
So why are you feeling the need to fight people or do whatever over some dumb ass fucking
(06:08):
sports shit?
Entertainment really.
That's what it is.
It is sports entertainment, man, it is what that is.
And I also don't understand why, like this happens over multitudes of sports, this is
like across every sport.
There's no sport that this doesn't exist in.
(06:32):
But what's funny is, it's not like not every team has a fan base that is willing to fight
for them, right?
It's not, and even teams that were good, all right, okay, like, listen, I mean, New England
fans are fucking assholes in general, right?
I happen to be one of those, but there weren't like massive fucking fights and shit or like
(06:57):
major incidents if the Patriots didn't fucking win or whatever, right?
There really weren't those things that were happening, at least not to the level of, you
know, getting major news coverage about it.
And I'm not saying that all fans are shitbags, right?
But what I'm saying is, it's weird how like you get those kinds of fans and then you get
like, you know, Raider fans who have no contention of winning and they're just gonna fight you
(07:21):
in the parking lot no matter what.
And over what?
Over their team.
49er fans, same thing.
Like, why is it that some fan bases are just fucking straight assholes?
And listen, I'll be the first to say, yeah, listen, as a Pats guy, yeah, we're assholes,
right?
But we're more mouthy than we are.
Like, we're probably not gonna fucking fight you over it.
It's not that, it's not that important to us, right?
(07:42):
It's just, yeah, I'll talk shit, but I mean, I'm not gonna throw hands if the Patriots
fucking don't win or whatever.
I mean, it's not that important to me.
Honestly, at this point, yeah, I'm still a fan and I follow the Patriots, but like, I
don't literally pay attention to any other bullshit that's going on.
I just don't.
People use that as like gatekeeping sports too.
(08:03):
Right, yeah.
Because like I said, I made a giant ass post about how it's not that serious to be so engaged
in baseball, right?
That our rabid fandom can turn into straight violence.
Yeah.
For seemingly like not all that much.
And some guys are like, oh, so are you saying you don't support the Dodgers or that-
(08:27):
Oh, asshole.
Are you saying the series is over?
That's loser talk.
I'm like, dude, are you gatekeeping the fucking Dodgers for me?
I'm like, that's so absurdly stupid.
Because I've been a fan since I was, you know, four or five years old.
As young as I can remember, I have loved baseball and the Dodgers for as many years as I've
(08:48):
been alive, right?
Yeah.
But for somebody to say that's loser talk, you don't know what you're talking about,
I'm like, I don't give enough of a shit about this to lose my fucking head over it.
Exactly.
But there are people that keep the team from other people that support the team.
(09:09):
Yeah.
Why?
Yeah, I don't get that either.
Or they like to say, oh, you don't know who the fucking ninth guy in the fucking pitching
rotation is, so like, you must not be a fan.
You don't know the minor leaguers fucking, the potential prospects batting average in
the minor leagues.
Oh, you're not a fan.
Listen, I don't fucking know half the fucking assholes on the angels.
(09:33):
Quite frankly, I don't really care that much, but I do like the angels and I like going
and fucking watching.
I like baseball and I like watching fucking shit happens.
Yeah.
But no, I don't fucking know everybody's batting average or everybody's fine.
I don't know any of that shit.
Like I said, I don't even know half the fucking assholes on the team, but that doesn't make
me less of a fan than you just because you fucking know all these weird stats about it.
(09:57):
And you shouldn't gatekeep it for me because I don't know that every sport should be.
Everyone can be involved in.
If you're wearing the jersey of the team, hey, man, you're good on me, right?
Like if you're a follower or a fan, hey, man, we're on the same team here.
We're on the same boat.
That's cool with me.
So I don't know.
(10:18):
Also, I wouldn't gatekeep any angels fans because no one wants to be an angel fan anyway.
So there's not even anyone I could gatekeep even if I wanted to.
But someone asked me the other day, they were they were talking shit about some whatever
something and they were like, oh, because I had said like, hey, man, like, are you you
know, I was asking somebody like, hey, are you concerned that, you know, like, hey, man,
(10:39):
the Dodgers aren't it's fucking getting weird right now.
Like, are you concerned that this they the Padres might get lucky and take them?
And they were like, they literally said something about like, oh, that's just loser talker.
Oh, don't be jealous because you're an angels fan.
And I'm like, I'm not being jealous.
I'm just asking you a question like.
But also, oh, don't be jealous because the angels aren't aren't good.
Listen, I'm not jealous at all.
(11:00):
As a matter of fact, I prefer the angels to suck balls because that means I get to go
to games for like thirty five dollars.
All right.
Like that's excellent.
I love doing that.
Sure.
Granted, I need to get loaded in the parking lot beforehand because it's like one of the
most expensive fucking stadiums to drink at.
But that's besides the point.
The point being, I can get into the gate for under one hundred dollars for me and Katie
to go get decent fucking tickets and go see him, you know, to go see a game like.
(11:24):
Fuck yeah, I'm in.
I'm in for that.
Let the angels suck for the next 20 years.
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, I saw him win a World Series.
That's I'm good.
Like cool enough.
But it's that fucking mentality of people.
Oh, well, but I was just asking you a question about the Dodgers like, oh, you're going to
fucking in that and then you're going to keep me from even asking you questions about it.
(11:45):
So also the parody between the Dodgers and Padres, because this has kind of been an ongoing
story since probably twenty twenty.
Dodgers took out the Padres during the twenty twenty playoffs.
Twenty twenty two, the Padres took out the Dodgers.
And obviously, like the Padres fans are gloating.
Oh, we beat you in the playoffs.
(12:07):
You're not recognizing us as a legitimate rivalry.
But we kicked your ass during the regular like this regular season, this twenty twenty
four regular season.
And Dodger fans just refuse to completely acknowledge the Padres as like a legitimate
team and that the real rivalry is between the Dodgers and Giants, which is historically
true.
(12:28):
Like the Dodgers have been rivals with the Giants for like one hundred and thirty plus
years if I'm not mistaken.
But to say that these guys aren't like legitimate or whatever it might be, they put up a good
fight throughout the regular season to the point that the Dodgers only had like a three
game a three game lead for the NOS.
(12:50):
And the NOS was like somewhat competitive, but it was really just the Padres and the
fucking Dodgers.
And I don't know, man, like they put out a pretty foot, a pretty good team.
And yeah, are some of the guys problematic, seemingly to the Dodgers, that they gloat
and that they pester the fans or they try to agitate the fans, whatever.
(13:12):
Like who cares, man?
Like it's all for the fun of the sport.
And I think Dodgers fans like losing their minds about, oh, this is just the little brother
team down south in San Diego.
These guys don't really matter.
I don't know, man.
They put up, I think they had like an eight, what was it?
(13:32):
I don't remember what the win loss record between the Dodgers and Padres was for the
regular season.
I just know they won more total games compared to the Dodgers in this, the rivalry for this
regular season.
But nonetheless, I think people belittling other teams is like the dumbest shit ever.
(13:53):
I think people being assholes, like the whole Brian Stowe thing that happened, I think 10
years ago or 10 plus years ago where some Giants fan goes out to Dodgers Stadium and
gets his ass beat for, and who knows?
I don't remember if the guy was the agitator saying things to Dodgers fans and the Dodgers
fans ended up retaliating and kicking that dude's ass to the point that he ended up dying.
(14:16):
Man, that just doesn't look, that doesn't look well on Dodgers fans and it took 10 plus
years to wash away that image.
And then that imagery of Dodgers fans being toxic or whatever the fuck you wanna call
it, was brought back to the forefront in the NLDS because, what was it?
(14:40):
Jerrickson Profar gave a fan a ball or something, cuz he snatched like a home run in the first
inning.
And then he went back to that fan and gave them a ball, and then that fan ended up throwing
the ball back.
And then there was some other bullshit that happened like Manny Machado throwing a ball
(15:00):
at the Dodgers dugout.
And it just kind of create like this, what do you wanna call it?
Like Lost in Translation thing.
That if people were looking or reading too much into those moments, and it provoked the
Dodgers fans more to start throwing shit at the field.
(15:20):
And I'm like, man, it's not really worth doing all this shit to give into the stereotype
that people have of Dodgers fans.
So I don't know, again, it's just speaking to like the stupidity of sports fans that
we, of course we can be involved with the teams that we love, whether that's like NHL
(15:42):
or MLB or any other sport that's here in the United States.
But you can be invested, but you can't be to the point where you're literally throwing
hands with somebody else to the point that you may die just to prove a point.
Just to prove a point that your team's better when, who cares about that?
It doesn't seem nobody, who gives a fuck?
(16:03):
It doesn't mean anything.
None of this means fucking anything.
And see, this is why, I mean, maybe this is a tie into the to the CUP podcast, but this
is why we need a good fucking World War III.
This is exactly what we need.
People are itching to fight about the dumbest shit.
Well, we need to take it away because again, to me, sport has always been the peacetime
(16:27):
equivalent of war.
All right.
That's it's a, it's a dress rehearsal.
It's a non, it's a non-lethal dress rehearsal for war, right?
Or distraction for things that are actually happening in the world that are meaningful.
Right, exactly.
But I've thought that sport was created out of the necessity for man to get out those
(16:47):
fucking feelings of wanting to murder somebody.
But you can do it in a way that's sort of constructive or whatever through sport.
Right.
The purge, minus the purge.
Right.
Basically it's minus the killing.
All right.
It's just war minus the killing and through some sort of other physical or technical means.
Right.
So that's what, that's what it is.
And now it's, it's bleeding into the fans that like, Oh, people have to get so rabid
(17:11):
that they're going to kill each other.
Well, that if we had a good world war three happening right now, nobody would fucking
be giving a shit about any of this stuff.
Yep.
This shit would all just basically be canceled or whatever.
So that's my thought.
We need a good, we need another good war.
That's what we need.
We need another good war.
As if that's even as if it was good.
Yeah.
We need to focus our attentions and our hatreds against other people for looking different
(17:34):
than us.
Not based on our geographic location of our sports team.
That's funny.
I know.
All right.
Well, before we start turning this into a ongoing circle of just circling the same subject
and saying it a million different ways, I think we could just end it here and just say
(17:58):
that enjoy your sports team, but also don't be an asshole.
Don't be an asshole.
Or if you're going to be an asshole, just just be a constructive asshole.
Yeah.
Don't fucking be physically fucking, you know, violent or whatever.
I guess.
I don't know.
Anyways.
All right.
Well, that'll do it for us.

As a matter of fact, I prefer the angels to suck balls because that means I get to go
to games for like thirty five dollars.
All right.
Like that's excellent.
I love doing that.
Sure.
Granted, I need to get loaded in the parking lot beforehand because it's like one of the
most expensive fucking stadiums to drink at.
But that's besides the point.
The point being, I can get into the gate for under one hundred dollars for me and Katie
to go get decent fucking tickets and go see him, you know, to go see a game like.
(11:24):
Fuck yeah, I'm in.
I'm in for that.
Let the angels suck for the next 20 years.
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, I saw him win a World Series.
That's I'm good.
Like cool enough.
But it's that fucking mentality of people.
Oh, well, but I was just asking you a question about the Dodgers like, oh, you're going to
fucking in that and then you're going to keep me from even asking you questions about it.
(11:45):
So also the parody between the Dodgers and Padres, because this has kind of been an ongoing
story since probably twenty twenty.
Dodgers took out the Padres during the twenty twenty playoffs.
Twenty twenty two, the Padres took out the Dodgers.
And obviously, like the Padres fans are gloating.
Oh, we beat you in the playoffs.
(12:07):
You're not recognizing us as a legitimate rivalry.
But we kicked your ass during the regular like this regular season, this twenty twenty
four regular season.
And Dodger fans just refuse to completely acknowledge the Padres as like a legitimate
team and that the real rivalry is between the Dodgers and Giants, which is historically
true.
(12:28):
Like the Dodgers have been rivals with the Giants for like one hundred and thirty plus
years if I'm not mistaken.
But to say that these guys aren't like legitimate or whatever it might be, they put up a good
fight throughout the regular season to the point that the Dodgers only had like a three
game a three game lead for the NOS.
(12:50):
And the NOS was like somewhat competitive, but it was really just the Padres and the
fucking Dodgers.
And I don't know, man, like they put out a pretty foot, a pretty good team.
And yeah, are some of the guys problematic, seemingly to the Dodgers, that they gloat
and that they pester the fans or they try to agitate the fans, whatever.
(13:12):
Like who cares, man?
Like it's all for the fun of the sport.
And I think Dodgers fans like losing their minds about, oh, this is just the little brother
team down south in San Diego.
These guys don't really matter.
I don't know, man.
They put up, I think they had like an eight, what was it?
(13:32):
I don't remember what the win loss record between the Dodgers and Padres was for the
regular season.
I just know they won more total games compared to the Dodgers in this, the rivalry for this
regular season.
But nonetheless, I think people belittling other teams is like the dumbest shit ever.
(13:53):
I think people being assholes, like the whole Brian Stowe thing that happened, I think 10
years ago or 10 plus years ago where some Giants fan goes out to Dodgers Stadium and
gets his ass beat for, and who knows?
I don't remember if the guy was the agitator saying things to Dodgers fans and the Dodgers
fans ended up retaliating and kicking that dude's ass to the point that he ended up dying.
(14:16):
Man, that just doesn't look, that doesn't look well on Dodgers fans and it took 10 plus
years to wash away that image.
And then that imagery of Dodgers fans being toxic or whatever the fuck you wanna call
it, was brought back to the forefront in the NLDS because, what was it?
(14:40):
Jerrickson Profar gave a fan a ball or something, cuz he snatched like a home run in the first
inning.
And then he went back to that fan and gave them a ball, and then that fan ended up throwing
the ball back.
And then there was some other bullshit that happened like Manny Machado throwing a ball
(15:00):
at the Dodgers dugout.
And it just kind of create like this, what do you wanna call it?
Like Lost in Translation thing.
That if people were looking or reading too much into those moments, and it provoked the
Dodgers fans more to start throwing shit at the field.
(15:20):
And I'm like, man, it's not really worth doing all this shit to give into the stereotype
that people have of Dodgers fans.
So I don't know, again, it's just speaking to like the stupidity of sports fans that
we, of course we can be involved with the teams that we love, whether that's like NHL
(15:42):
or MLB or any other sport that's here in the United States.
But you can be invested, but you can't be to the point where you're literally throwing
hands with somebody else to the point that you may die just to prove a point.
Just to prove a point that your team's better when, who cares about that?
It doesn't seem nobody, who gives a fuck?
(16:03):
It doesn't mean anything.
None of this means fucking anything.
And see, this is why, I mean, maybe this is a tie into the to the CUP podcast, but this
is why we need a good fucking World War III.
This is exactly what we need.
People are itching to fight about the dumbest shit.
Well, we need to take it away because again, to me, sport has always been the peacetime
(16:27):
equivalent of war.
All right.
That's it's a, it's a dress rehearsal.
It's a non, it's a non-lethal dress rehearsal for war, right?
Or distraction for things that are actually happening in the world that are meaningful.
Right, exactly.
But I've thought that sport was created out of the necessity for man to get out those
(16:47):
fucking feelings of wanting to murder somebody.
But you can do it in a way that's sort of constructive or whatever through sport.
Right.
The purge, minus the purge.
Right.
Basically it's minus the killing.
All right.
It's just war minus the killing and through some sort of other physical or technical means.
Right.
So that's what, that's what it is.
And now it's, it's bleeding into the fans that like, Oh, people have to get so rabid
(17:11):
that they're going to kill each other.
Well, that if we had a good world war three happening right now, nobody would fucking
be giving a shit about any of this stuff.
Yep.
This shit would all just basically be canceled or whatever.
So that's my thought.
We need a good, we need another good war.
That's what we need.
We need another good war.
As if that's even as if it was good.
Yeah.
We need to focus our attentions and our hatreds against other people for looking different
(17:34):
than us.
Not based on our geographic location of our sports team.
That's funny.
I know.
All right.
Well, before we start turning this into a ongoing circle of just circling the same subject
and saying it a million different ways, I think we could just end it here and just say
(17:58):
that enjoy your sports team, but also don't be an asshole.
Don't be an asshole.
Or if you're going to be an asshole, just just be a constructive asshole.
Yeah.
Don't fucking be physically fucking, you know, violent or whatever.
I guess.
I don't know.
Anyways.
All right.
Well, that'll do it for us.
